First song of 2018. Happy Year Year y'all. https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/come-set-me-freeCome Set Me Free By David Snyder V1 What if the universe was only just a day Would we still choose to spend our time this way I know that this is not what we were meant to be We cannot let this world control our destiny CH Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free And show me what true love can really mean V2 If we were strong we would stand up against these walls I know our dreams can’t really be this small I know that this is not what we were meant to be We were supposed to love even our enemies CH Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free And show me what true love can really mean Bridge Midnight worries won’t you flee To morning bright and fair I miss the beauty of the truth And the sunlight in her hair CH Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free And show me what true love can really mean Like ocean winds wake up the trees, wake up the trees Like morning comes up a fragile breeze Oh innocence come set me free Oh innocence come set me free Oh innocence come set me free Words and Music copyright David Snyder 2018, Released January 1, 2018.

The sound of the 80's in the 2018's.
This is really good. Love the vibe in this one. Super vocals and backing tracks with outstanding lyrics.
Great job on this one.

David,
A different and cool sound to begin the year. I really enjoyed the synth swirling behind your vocals and the positive message... oh, and the nod to one of my favourite singers!

Great lyrics, and a little Steve Winwood influence goes a long way. (I saw him in concert a few years ago, awesome!)
Strong song to start off the year, David!

“If we were strong we would stand up against these walls
I know our dreams can’t really be this small
I know that this is not what we were meant to be
We were supposed to love even our enemies”
Stronger than a garlic milkshake!
Lots to ponder Mr Snyder and wrapped in a cool production.
